Fur 'n' Feathers Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 It's not a werewolf then Well yes it could have been a werewolf, but those only come out when it's dark and the pub's shut : :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikk100 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I know you're convinced it wasn't a cat but we encountered a massive cat (albeit black) which seems to fit the description, he turned out to be a breed called Maine Coon and they can come with banded tails and all sorts of colours...http://www.maine-coon-cat-club.com/, quite valuable by all accounts....

They look gorgeous -it wasn't fluffy though - not so sure about the body but the tail was definitely not fluffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just picked up this video clip via our online local newspaper. Is this any help? It's gorgeous anyway! http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonline/news/2009/august/24/jumping_lynx.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've got a Maine Coon cat and although they are large with long banded tails they aren't the size of a Labrador. Fantastic cats by the way, real characters and easily trained. Very quirky and love to play with water! My Cassie has been eying up the new chooks with disgust and has taken to sitting with her back to them - if you can't see them they aren't there are they!

redranger Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Some breeds of domestic cat can be very big - a friend has Maine Coones, which are twice the size of my tortoiseshell. I'm guessing it could have been something like that too. Theirs dont have fluffy tails either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Love the video of the Lynx When we were on holiday in Portugal a couple of years ago, we were walking back to our villa on a golf resort from a restaurant. Crossing the golf course my husband and sons ran back to me and my daughter shouting. Apparently a big cat type thing (huge apparently) had crossed the road in front of them and it was lit up by a car headlight. They swear it was a lynx or something like that. They do have them in Portugal. They were all very excited about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether they are cuddly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
